If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Otwock.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
