We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Mefjordvær in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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 or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy 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 also a great idea to help lower your risk.
