We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Jordal in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
