Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Broddarp vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy 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 minimize this risk.
