Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Astorp could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
