Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Tonsberg escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
