Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lyngen could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
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 compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
