If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Šamorín.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater 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 flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.
