Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Svoboda holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
