Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Česká Lípa escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
