Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Valsoyfjord could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
