Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Vimmerby holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
