If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Gamleby. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
