No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Haparanda holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
