We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Hasvik in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring 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 headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
