Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Vissenbjerg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
