Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Havekost could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
