We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Arlandastad in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes 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 hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
