How to survive the flight to Longyearbyen?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Longyearbyen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Longyearbyen?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Longyearbyen before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
