Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Stordal vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
