Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Smøla vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
