If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Klintehamn.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
