Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Marianske Lazne escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
