Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Balsfjord holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
