Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Starobachaty could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
