We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Katowice in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
