No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Eklundshov holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
