If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Hodruša.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
