No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Nykoping holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
