Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Leirvik could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. 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. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
