We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Sandnessjoen in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
