Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Varmahlid could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
