Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Tofte could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
