Do you have any tips for my flight to Helsinki?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Helsinki could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Helsinki?
The trick is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Helsinki in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
