Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Moskenes could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
