Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Örebro escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
