Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Hoyheimsvik holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
