We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Mākum in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
