No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well organised. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Svolvaer holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
