We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Kyrksaeterora in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
