Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pribylina could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
