Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Almhult holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
