Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Tanum holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
