We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Doboj before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
