No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Hadsten holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
