We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Norges-la-Ville in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
