Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kazanlak holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
