Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Årviksand escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
