How to survive the flight to Budapest?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Budapest could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Budapest?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Budapest a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
