No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Sorkjosen vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
