Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Eidsvoll holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
