Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Filipstad could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
