No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Vemdalen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
