Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Kimstad escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
