Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Uhersky Brod escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
