We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and discovering Grisen in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
