Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Krokkleiva could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
