If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Notodden.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
