We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Larvik before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, 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 go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
