We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Rudny in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
