Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Koluszki escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
