No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Vossestrand holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
