We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Mirovice before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
