Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Ås holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
