Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Kristiansand holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
