No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Plovdiv holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
