If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Hofsos. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
