Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Garpenberg holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
