We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Malin in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
