Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Lindesnes escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
