Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Norway could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
