We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Finland in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items 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 prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
