Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alvkarleby could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
