Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Jindrichuv Hradec holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
