Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Nowa Ruda escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
