No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Ylitornio vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
