We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Zalesye in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
