Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vis could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
