Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Prostejov escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
