If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Ringsted.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
