No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Lyckeby holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
