If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Askim. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
