Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Slunj could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
