Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Strandvik escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
