Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nordby could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
