We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Hammaslahti in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
