Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Raisio holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
