If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Usti nad Orlici. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
