No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Grygla vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
