Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Bygdsiljum escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
