We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Mikolajki in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
