Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Hellissandur escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
