Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Årjäng escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
