Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Raska could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
