Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Bergsnäs escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
