No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Polaca escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
