Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Hjortkvarn vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
