We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Bruntal in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
