We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Leirvik in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
