Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Hegyeshalom holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
