Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to KolmÄrden could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
