Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Faaborg holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
