Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Solothurn could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
