No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Torvikbukt vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
