If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Samsø.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
