Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Fjaerland holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
