We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Dubnica nad Vahom in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
