Be well prepared for your holiday!
If you want to relax during your holiday and make sure that you have all the important things with you, good preparation is essential. We would like to give you a number of tips on what to think about before departure.
If you are going on holiday by plane, please take into account the rules that apply to hand luggage. It is best to put fragile electronics, such as a camera or laptop, in your hand luggage, as well as adapters, a world plug and e.g. a power bank. It is also best to put your travel documents in your hand luggage.
