Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Mindresunde escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
