Flights to Turzovka, Žilina from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Turzovka escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Turzovka before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
