Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Halmstad could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
