We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Karlstad in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
