ESSENS Travel introduces a completely new mobile application

flymeto EUROPE s. r. o. is an IATA certified and accredited Slovak travel agency with branches in Czech Republic.

In your work on preparing your tickets, we process your personal information - that is, information that can be directly or indirectly linked to a particular person, eg with you.

Because there is a theoretical possibility that, for example, state authorities such as the court or the police could order us to link our data with others, which could eventually lead to the disclosure of your name, etc., we behave to these data as if it were for you important and in line with the GDPR Directive.

This means that we only store them as much as we really need for the above reasons. We only store them for as long as necessary. And they are secured so that even in the event of their escape it is not abusive and it has no unfortunate consequences for you.

This implies that data is encrypted wherever possible so that anyone can read it. Only employees who are in need of their work have access to the data. And they are also instructed how to handle the data.

On this page, you'll find information about what data and for what we're processing, including information on what you can do if you have any reservations about it. flymeto EUROPE respects your choice and your privacy.

## What data we consider to be personal

By law, personal data is any data that is linked or can be legally associated with a particular individual.

From the nature of our work, we usually work with names, surnames, dates of birth, and other information needed to book your ticket or other services, including accommodation, and at the same time protect you from possible misuse of your personal information for travel by another unauthorized person. we can get in touch with data that can specifically identify an individual, and we can get in touch with other data that could be used to identify them. This is their list.

### IP addresses

Each time you enter any web site, your computer will begin to send information and data to the computer (server) on which the site is located.

Just like we do, we need address and routing numbers to send letters, and computers need it. Each of them, even yours, has their IP address to send to other computers on the Internet.

The IP address looks like this: 192.168.45.12

This is not the actual address of your home or apartment, but only the number that the computers will know when communicating with each other and without which the internet would not work.

Even though we do not know much about this IP address, the courts have previously decided that this should be seen as personal. This is because, in conjunction with other data, courts or the police or other state authorities could have derived from your IP address the address of your home or apartment.

It is important to realize that almost every website is now composed of many smaller parts, just like the puzzle piece is composed of many pieces. Each of these parts can be processed by another computer (server). With one page visit, your IP address can receive many different computers in many different locations around the world.

In the case of our clients, the site may consist of its own content, such as flight offers, accommodation, insurance, etc. from articles, videos and advertising space. When you enter that site, the IP address of your computer will see not just your client but ours.

Where it is not necessary, we try not to keep the entire IP address. E.g. so we discard the last number of this address. This will prevent any connection with your computer. It's similar to removing the last number from your home address or zip code. Any shipment would still be delivered to the right city, but not to the right home.

However, it is not always possible. In some cases, such as finding an internet pest or cheater, we need a full IP address.

In cases where we process a full IP address, we treat this IP address and all data associated with it as personal data.

You can not prevent forwarding IP addresses because it is required for the Internet to function as such. If you want, you can hide your real IP address using specialized services. Even these services will see your real IP address.

### Cookies

**Using cookies by flymeto EUROPE.**

A cookie is a small text file that some websites store on your computer. The purpose of the cookies on this website is to improve the use of this site by our customers. Cookies identify specific information from previous visits on our website. The user’s person is not identifiable on the basis of this information. Cookies, for example, help our site to function properly in determining which pages and features are most commonly used; on which basis we can best adjust our offer to your requirements. flymeto EUROPE respects the protection of your privacy.

[More information about cookies can be found here](/blog/en/cookies/).

### Web site reader identifiers

Whenever your web browser is communicating on the Web with other computers, they can store short information on your computer.

For example, you can remember that you are already logged in, so you do not have to fill in the credentials. You can use them to preserve your color preferences, backgrounds, and similar personal settings.

flymeto EUROPE as stores your unique identifier in this way. What we need it for you, and you will read further.

This identifier looks like this: BBID-12345678901234567

So we do not know what your name is, where you live, but we know from it, for example, that we have already seen such an identifier somewhere on some pages.

Please read how we use this identifier. We are convinced that you will find that it is also useful for you.

You can change your unique identifier at any time. This will forever disconnect any data we have stored from you and your computer. It is the same as if we forgot all of you at that moment.

While it is only theoretically possible to associate this identifier with you as a physical person, we behave to all the data that contains it as personal data.

### Why flymeto EUROPE needs personal information

We need most of the data we collect for airlines and hotel chains, or other business partners - insurance companies, etc. In such cases, we are legally considered to be a &quot;data controller&quot;.

For further processing and editing of our site, we collect data for our own needs:

#### Improving our website

As for any business, it is also important for us to know if our web pages are clear, easy to use and help to attract new customers. For this reason, we keep track of the reader's passage through our site - how it entered, when and how long it went, etc.

This information is kept for 3 months. We are convinced that this is in line with the law, because it is our legitimate interest.

#### Safety

Not everyone approaches our site with good intentions. That is why we keep access to our websites and services to help publicize and prevent various types of attacks. It is also important for us to protect other data we process. We store data such as the number and frequency of access from a particular computer, browser.

This information is kept for 3 months. We are convinced that this is in line with the law, because it is our legitimate interest.

#### Why do we consider these data to be personal?

Simply because they contain the IP address of your computer.

## Your rights

Because we process most of the personal data for airlines, hotels and insurance companies for legitimate reasons of identification and accurate reservation of services for you, you should not have doubts about using this data.

If you are unsure or have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us. If your question concerns a third party, we will try to help you reach the right recipient.

In cases where we process your personal data for our own purposes, you may contact us with any comments, requests.

In general, you have the following rights as a &quot;data subject&quot;, the person whose personal data are processed:

1. If your consent is required by law to process your data, you are entitled to revoke this consent at any time.
2. If flymeto EUROPE is the &quot;manager&quot; of your data, ie if we process data for our own purposes and needs, you have the right to access your personal data and request repairs
3. You also have other rights, such as the right to delete data, the right to limit processing, the right to object to processing for marketing purposes, the right to transfer your data.
4. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.
5. You have the right to object to the relevant public authority responsible for the protection of personal data (UOOU).

Please note that most of these rights are subject to various conditions, some of which are listed above.

We have tried to explain why we need to process your personal data. If there is a legal requirement for your explicit consent, THERE IS NOT obliged to give us this consent. If you decide to give us your consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time.

Please note that there are legal grounds for processing your personal information that does not require your consent. For example, we may have a legitimate interest in the processing of some personal data for reasons of data security. In these cases, we are still required to inform you of the purposes of this processing. This is the content of these pages.

If you revoke your consent, we will cease processing your personal data for purposes that require revocation.

If you would like to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information, you may do so:

1. by e-mail to [service@flymeto.com](mailto:service@flymeto.com)
2. writing to: see [the contact page](/blog/en/contacts/)

In the case of any queries or needs of information regarding the protection of personal data, the withdrawal of consent, or in the case of any complaints, please contact us by the methods described above.

## Concepts

Please note that precise legal definitions are not used here. We try to explain the situation clearly.

### Right interest

The GDPR directive allows you to manage your personal information for several reasons. One of them is a legitimate interest. In essence, if you do not suffer any significant damage on our part by processing these data while doing so in our business as a business, we have the right to process your data for that purpose.

### Informed consent

For some purposes, processing of your personal data requires the explicit informed consent of the data subject, that is you. This is especially the case where you do not expect such processing, or if personal data processing can significantly affect your life or other rights.

### Administrator

The Privacy Controller is the one who decides on the fact that some personal data will be processed, why, and for what purpose. For the processing of these data, the administrator can hire a third party to process the data. This third party is then called Processor.

### Processor

The processor is someone who processes personal data on behalf of the administrator. In this case, the processor only fulfills the administrator's assignment and does not have his interest in the processing of personal data.

In case of low-cost flight carriers, you will receive an
itinerary with reservation code. What should be your next steps?_

## Check-in

You need to do a check-in to get your airplane boarding pass. The check-in can
be done online or on the airport. Some carriers charge an extra fee for an
on-airpot check-in, so we recommend you to check this with your concrete flight
carrier. You should be on the airport 2 hours in advance, at least.

## Online check-in

Online check-in can be done on the web pages of your flight carrier, after you
log in to your reservation. To log in, you will have something like 6-digit
reservation code (for example AB1C2D), which you have got with your flight
carrier itinerary. To fill-in, you will need a id documents (passport, ID card
...), which will be used during a travel by you. After that, system will provide
you with a boarding pass, which you should printout.

## Airport check-in

The counter check-in starts usually 2 hours in advance and ends 40 minutes
before the flight leaves. Your counter number will be displayed on the departure
board.

## Baggage

There is a carry-on baggage included in your air ticket fee. You should check
the exact allowed dimensions and weight of this baggage on your flight carrier
pages. If the checked baggage (which is carried in the cargo compartment) is not
in the ticket price, it is usually possible to buy it on the Internet after
login to your reservation or to the airport, where the purchase is more
expensive. More carriers offer basic flights only with hand luggage these days,
even in long-distance flights.

## Flight information

If you want to have information about your flight (delay or cancellation), we
recommend you to register your flight at checkmytrip.com (you can not enter low
cost carrier flights). All changes on your flight will be sent to you via mail.
If the flight is canceled just before departure, contact the airline, or try to
find its representation directly at the airport.

## Seating and other services

Seats and services such as food, special assistance, etc. can be purchased after
you log in to your reservation.

Garantuee of refund of the air tickets

There is a chat icon on the right side of the screen. Start communicating with our agent to help you solve your problem.

## Booking a ticket

### How do I know I have a ticket booked?

You will receive a confirmation email no later than 2 hours after booking. Therefore, it is necessary to fill in the e-mail that you actually use when booking.

### I still haven't received a confirmation email. Do I have a ticket booked?

Check the Spam and Bulk folder in the email. If you can't find it there either, contact our customer support immediately on chat or phone. It is possible that there was a typo when entering the e-mail and it needs to be corrected.

### What if we travel in a larger group?

The maximum group size is 9 people. You must make a reservation for all members of the group at once. Separate bookings cannot later be merged into one. You must then pay for all tickets at once, otherwise all reservations will be forfeited.

## Payment

### How can I pay for a ticket?

You can pay for your ticket in several ways:

- _By credit card_ - via a secure payment gateway immediately upon booking
- _Essens Virtual Wallet_ - commissions in a virtual wallet

### How and where do I get my ticket?

The ticket will be sent to you electronically to the e-mail address you provided in the reservation. You do not have to print the ticket. To get on the plane, you only need a printed boarding pass, which you get on the basis of the ticket after check-in - either separately online or at the airport. However, you can also pick up your ticket at our office.

### If I don't have a boarding pass on the way to the airport, then what will I show at the check-in counter?

At the airport, it is also possible to get a boarding pass at the check-in counter or at check-in machines. At the counter, you can prove yourself with the travel document specified in the order. For vending machines, you can start check-in by entering the reservation code.

### Why do I have to pay for my ticket by 9:00 today? Is not it a mistake?

The given ticket price can always be guaranteed only on the same day. Therefore, it is necessary for the money to come to the account by this time, otherwise the reservation will not take place. If you are worried that the transfer will not be fast enough, the payment card is sure.

### If I can't pay for my ticket on time, can the due date be extended?

The due date cannot be extended, because then we cannot guarantee the same ticket price. But our customer support can try to repeat the reservation. Contact them via chat or phone.

## Ticket and check-in

### Is a ticket or boarding pass more important?

The ticket serves as a confirmation of your flights and contains instructions for check-in and transfers. Based on it, you will receive a boarding pass after check-in. Unlike the ticket, it must always be printed and only you will be let on the plane with it.

### What is online check-in?

If you have to check in online for your flight, you will find out from the purchased ticket. You can check in yourself and avoid standing in line at the airport. But don't forget to print out the boarding pass that you will have after check-in and take it with you.

### What if I have to be checked in at the airport?

If you cannot check in online in advance, find your airline check-in desk at the airport. There, your luggage will be checked in based on your electronic ticket.

### How many hours before departure do I have to be at the airport?

It depends on the specific airport and route. By default, however, it should be enough to arrive at the airport entrance 2 hours before departure on European routes and on ocean routes, preferably 3 hours before departure. If you use online check-in, you can even later, but always well in advance so that you get to the right gate on time.

### All I need is a mobile boarding pass to board the plane?

For low-cost lines, just show a ticket from a mobile phone. You will only be admitted to other airlines with a printed boarding pass.

### They shifted my flight. What should I do?

If the change of flight does not endanger any of your other connections, you will have to endure the change. However, if you do not make the transfer and the next flight, please contact our customer support for assistance.

## Visas, vaccinations and documents

### Where can I find out if I need a visa?

You can find a complete overview on the website of the [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic](https://www.mzv.cz/jnp/cz/index.html). On the page below the map in the upper right corner, select the country you're flying from the menu and go to Travel. You will see current recommendations and warnings, including the Visa menu. If you are still unsure, contact the country's embassy directly.

### Is it true that I also need a visa to transfer?

Before booking, find out which countries you are flying through. If you change on your way and have to have your luggage checked in again, you leave the transit zone and find yourself in the territory of a foreign country to which you may need a visa. If this is the case, you must secure it in advance.

### Where can I know if I need vaccinations?

You can find a complete overview on the website of the [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic](https://www.mzv.cz/jnp/cz/index.html). On the page below the map in the upper right corner, select the country you're flying from the menu and go to Travel. You will see current recommendations and warnings, including the Healthcare menu, with information on necessary and recommended vaccines. If you are still unsure, contact the country's embassy directly.

### Can I only fly with a ID or driver's license?

If you are flying within the European Union, a valid ID or driver's license should suffice. However, some member countries have their own rules, so check in advance if you do not need a passport, on the website of the embassy of the country or on the website of the [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic](https://www.mzv.cz/jnp/cz/index.html) . On the page below the map in the upper right corner, select the country you're flying from the menu and go to Travel. You will see current recommendations and warnings, including the Visa menu.

## Luggage

### What's the difference between hand luggage and checked baggage?

Hand luggage is such that every passenger, except for infants, can take on board. Its maximum permitted dimensions and weight are different for each airline (usually 6-12 kg) and you can find out from the ticket. Checked or sub-hold baggage is handed in at your airline counter before departure and travels in the hold of the aircraft. So you don't have access to it on the plane.

### How do I know if my baggage is included in the ticket price?

You can see the number, maximum size and weight of all luggage that you have in the price of the ticket when booking. Low-cost airlines do not have checked baggage in the ticket price and it is necessary to be satisfied only with a handbag or pay extra for baggage when booking or when checking in online.

### Do I really have to pick up and check my luggage at every transfer?

Not always. If you have all the flights on one ticket and from the same company, your luggage will probably only be transferred from one plane to another. However, if you have two separate tickets, you must pick up your luggage and have it checked in again at the company arranging your second flight. Exceptions are flights to or from the USA. You always have to pick up your luggage, go through it with immigration and passport control and then put it on the universal luggage belt. Information on which transfers you have to check in your luggage is on your ticket. To be on the safe side, you can also ask at the airport check-in desk.

### I want to carry excess or special luggage. Can I get on every plane?

If you want to transport surfboards, pets, musical instruments, bicycles, sports equipment or fragile handicrafts, you need to order their transport before departure. It's late at the airport. Some companies do not transport them at all, others with restrictions. Contact our customer support via chat or phone before booking your ticket.

### My luggage was delayed or lost. Am I entitled to compensation?

If the airline loses, damages or delays your luggage, it can provide you with a maximum refund of approximately CZK 33,000. However, this only applies if the airline has not taken all necessary measures to prevent the damage or if it has not been possible to take it. You must report damage to your luggage no later than 7 days after receipt. You can file a luggage delay complaint within 21 days at the latest. You must file a complaint directly with the airline at the airport.

### What can't I take on board?

Of course, dangerous things like compressed gases, flammable substances, weapons, lighters, sharp objects or sports equipment such as golf clubs, baseball bats, bowling balls, cues, hockey sticks and ski poles. It is not very convenient to own food either, because you may encounter the internal rules of the airlines or the export and import restrictions of the country you are flying to.

### What can I have in my carry-on luggage on board?

You can carry medicines (tablets) in quantities appropriate for personal use. However, special medicines such as inhalers or injections must be kept in the original packaging and with a prescription in English.

### Can I take a drink or lotion in my carry-on luggage?

You can take a maximum of 1 liter of liquid per person on board. And it is still divided into containers not larger than 100 ml. For example, if you intend to take shampoo in a 250 ml bottle, even if there is only shampoo in the bottom of the shampoo, it will not pass security checks at the airport and will be confiscated from you. However, after passing the check-in, you can buy a drink at the airport and take it on board.

### Are electronics seriously interfering with navigation systems? Can I have a laptop with me?

Electronics, such as laptops, cameras, and cell phones, will not harm the aircraft and may remain in your carry-on luggage. However, this no longer applies to wireless mice, bluetooth headphones, laser pointers and radio transmitters. Restrictions may also apply to lithium-ion batteries that power your electronics. If they have an output of more than 100 Wh, they may not be allowed on board.

### Can I lock my luggage or will it search?

Most hold baggage is checked in without being opened by airport staff. However, your luggage can be searched at any time. If you want to lock it, get a lock that the airport security service can open, such as Travel Sentry. Otherwise, you risk returning your luggage damaged or delayed.

## Traveling with children

### Is it true that a child can fly alone under the supervision of a flight attendant?

This is a paid service and must be ordered in advance, but yes. This is done by the airline employee picking up the child at the airport and performing all the checks to the deck. There, the child is cared for by air staff. After landing, the child, again accompanied by an airline employee, is taken through the airport and handed over to the person who was previously mentioned as the recipient. This service is usually mandatory for children aged 5-12 who travel alone or without a legal representative. If you are interested, contact our customer service, who will advise you and help you choose a flight.

### Can I take more than one toddler on board as an adult?

As an adult you can travel with 2 children up to 2 years old. However, you must buy a ticket for one of them as for a child under 12 in order to be entitled to a seat. For safety reasons, it is not possible for one person to hold two children during the flight. A complete exception is some airlines, such as British Airways, which require at least 1 adult to travel with each toddler.

### Can a child under 2 have their own hand luggage?

Unfortunately, no. You have to fit all the things he will need during the flight into your own. Up to children over 2 years of age have the right to carry luggage.

### Can I take food for the baby on board?

If you are traveling with a child under 2 years old, you can take breast milk and baby food in any volume on board. However, the security check may ask you to taste both in its presence.

## Traveling with pets

### Do I have to book a flight with my pet in advance?

The airline must first confirm to you that it can transport the animal. The reservation note must include information such as the dimensions of the crate in cm, the total weight of the animal with the crate, breed (in the case of a dog). The airline may refuse to transport the animal. Therefore, it is better to pay for the reservation only after the company confirms the transport of the pet. If you are taking a trip on your pet, contact our customer support, they will help you arrange everything.

### What documents must an animal have in order to fly?

Each animal must have its own valid pet passport, which must include rabies vaccinations and any others required to enter the country. The animal must also be stripped by a veterinarian.

### Does the pet always travel with me on board?

Every airline has its own rules. Dogs and cats with a maximum weight of 5-8 kg, including a certified crate, usually travel on board. The crate must have a waterproof bottom and the animal must be able to stand and turn in it. A bag or a so-called soft bag is not considered a crate. Larger pets travel below decks, provided that the temperature in the flight is maintained so that the animal does not suffer from cold.

### Can I travel to any country with my pet?

Always check carefully under what conditions you can bring the animal to the ground. In some countries, the pet's passport and vaccination are sufficient, in others it must be quarantined or meet special conditions.

## Hotels

If you do not have checked baggage, you can go straight to the security checkpoint, then to the appropriate gate and to the plane. Your identification number and the boarding pass you have printed entitle you to go directly to your place on the plane. If you have luggage to check in, you will often save some time here as well, because some airlines have a designated counter or workplace where you can drop off your luggage without having to go through the entire check-in.

The online check-in system will save you a lot of time at the airport, but don't rely on the fact that you can arrive at the security check ten minutes before the departure of your aircraft. Even if you have carefully checked everything and have your boarding pass in hand, you must adhere to the times set by the airline. You must be at your respective departure gate no later than 15 minutes before departure, but some companies even require an hour.

Remember that there are also deadlines by which you must hand in your checked baggage at the latest. Even if you checked in online, the recommendation to be at the airport two traditional hours in advance still applies. The time you save through online check-in can then be spent visiting the shops at the airport or sitting in the restaurant. Also keep in mind that online check-in is usually not available for group tours.

## Benefits of online check-in

- Allows you to choose your seats before you get to the airport.
- Prepare your boarding pass in advance
- Avoid so-called "overbooking", ie leaving a seat without a seat due to too many reservations
- No long waits at airport counters
- If your airline has a bag drop line at the airport, you may be able to arrive at the airport a little later
- You can come directly to the security check, which means that you can arrive at the airport up to 30 minutes before boarding, instead of the usually required 2 hours
- In case you lose your boarding pass, you can print it out again

## Glossary of airport terms: What is online check-in

In order not to be confused at the airport (but also when buying a ticket), it is good to remember a few terms. These dates will no longer surprise you at the airport.

- _Arrival (time)_ - arrival (time of arrival).
- _Baggage claim_ - baggage collection, suitcase collection.
- _Boarding pass (boarding ticket)_ - boarding pass.
- _Check-in_ - check-in.
- _Check-in desk_ - check-in counter.
- _Checked baggage/luggage_ - checked baggage (not to be confused with hand or cabin baggage).
- _Cabin baggage / carry-on baggage_ - aircraft suitcase, hand luggage.
- _Departure (time)_ - departure (departure time).
- _DLY/Delay_ - delay.
- _Flight ticket_ - air ticket, boarding pass.
- _Gate_ - departure gate.
- _Reservation confirmation_ - booking confirmation (usually arrives in your inbox when booking online).
- _Seat_ - seat.
- _Security check_ - security check.
- _Terminal_ - terminal, one of the airport buildings.
- _Transfer_ - transfer from one flight to another.
- _Tranzit_ - landing and further departure, all on board the same flight.

Benefits of online check-in in practice

Every future mother should avoid traveling to destinations where it is necessary to get vaccinated in advance.

In general, flying is safe for pregnant women, it does not endanger the mother or the fetus, however, it can contribute to conditions that can seriously endanger pregnancy. The risks are mainly due to large pressure differences. In early pregnancy, bleeding may occur; in the higher stages of pregnancy, there is a risk of premature amniotic fluid drainage. The length of the flight can also fundamentally affect the health of the expectant mother, the risk comes from a long session, when blood clots can form.

Until the 28th week of pregnancy, women can fly practically without restrictions; between the 28th and 36th week of pregnancy, you must have a medical certificate for some airlines. Most airlines refuse to transport a pregnant woman from the 36th week of pregnancy.

However, it is always better to call the airline in time to find out how many weeks of pregnancy you will be transported and if you need a medical certificate.

The basic and important instructions for traveling by plane are to follow the drinking regime. Book a seat at the aisle so that you can walk around the plane at least every half hour, and move your lower limbs while sitting, which is important for blood circulation. For better comfort, choose loose clothing. Elastic stockings are not suitable. Do not underestimate the prevention of vascular wall medication prescribed by your doctor.

Make your trip easier also by traveling accompanied by a loved one, rather choose a place to sit in the first class with all comforts. Also have contact with the emergency services and your doctor with the international prefix. Consume fresh fruit and juice instead of packaged foods.

Some airlines offer pregnant women priority check-in, at Prague Airport pregnant women can wait in the business lounge, check-in and passport formalities will be arranged by airport staff.

If you feel unwell at the airport, a medical service will be available.

You definitely don't have to worry about metal detectors, which are not dangerous at all. X-rays are used at the airport only for baggage screening.

Enjoy the dream vacation even during pregnancy

## The basis is luggage

The bag or suitcase should be versatile and light, yet large enough to hold everything you need. Consider buying luggage with a big guarantee - especially if you plan to use it more often. Traveling with damaged luggage can be a nightmare. Here are some luggage tips:

- Suitcases on wheels
- Travel bags
- Backpacks on wheels
- Travel backpacks
- Hand cases

## Organize your stuff

It is likely that you have a full itinerary, so you will have to pack a lot of things. The organizers are the best help. They keep everything where it should be, separating clean things from dirty ones and without creasing. Have you tried travel compression packaging? These are a great helper. Our other tip of smart packaging is that you take clothes that you can layer and wear more than once (which serve more than one purpose). This will ultimately save you space and maximize your travel wardrobe.

## Prepare a handbag

Organize your travel documents, money and other identifying information so you can easily find them on request. Try a travel organizer. Another important part of hand luggage is basic clothing and some hygiene items in case your luggage is lost. If you have a long flight ahead of you, also pack some items for fun and convenience.

Remember: you need to carry hand luggage, so make sure it's light enough!

## Safe travel

Watch out for pickpockets and other types of thieves. It is easier to hide important things, for example behind a belt, or to put a wallet around your neck. But don't just think about securing your belongings, think about your personal safety as well. If you plan to walk at night, wear reflective clothing or a headlamp. These simple things can save your life.

## Secure your luggage

Never travel with valuable jewelry or electronics in your luggage, and if you need to bring valuables, store them on yourself or in a handbag.

## Protect your passports and valuables

Nowadays, thieves do not have to steal your wallet with documents to steal your personal data. They can easily scan and retrieve information stored on a chip embedded in an unprotected passport, credit card or bank card from a remote location. However, you can protect your information with specially designed passport and credit card cases that block RFID signals.

## How is it with hygiene needs

According to TSA instructions, liquids, gels, and aerosols that you wish to carry on an aircraft must be in containers of 100 ml or less. It is essential to put shampoos, creams, hair gels, mouthwashes and toothpastes, or other liquids in guaranteed impermeable containers to prevent spillage.

Traveling by plane can get complicated very quickly. Even if you travel solo, don't forget to pack all your toiletries properly, adhere to the weight and size limits of your luggage, and organize all your documents so that you don't get unnecessarily stressed.

We wish you a pleasant and relaxed trip.

How to cleverly pack for the trip

**As is well known, luggage also has ears. Airlines can pull them out properly if they do not meet the given parameters. What are they like?**

Each airline has its own luggage meter. With all that searching and verifying it, many travelers have an equal desire to wrap it up. That would be a shame, of course. That is why we have prepared a clear table for you, in which you can easily find out what to pack in, depending on who you are flying to and where.

At the airport, we divide luggage into two basic types, regardless of the number of wheels, handles and zippers. You can take a handy or cabin on board with you. Checkers travel separately in the luggage compartment. A special category consists of Terry Pratchett type luggage, which is subject to the same transport conditions as pets.

We will prepare an overview of the most common English conversation at the airport and on the plane soon.

Basic English words for air travel

Vaccination

No vaccinations are mandatory for Ethiopia. The official evidence of your state of health is an international vaccination certificate with a yellow fever vaccination record, which is recommended, often required if you are coming from a country where yellow fever is high.

Vaccination against cholera and travel diarrhea, against hepatitis A + B, typhoid fever and tetanus is also recommended. For up-to-date information on vaccination, please contact the specialized travel medicine centers, the regional hygiene center or the vaccination center directly.

Remember your constant protection, do not drink other than bottled water, bathe in stagnant waters, and remember that a significant percentage of Ethiopians are infected with AIDS.

The official language is Amharic, but you can also speak English.

The ideal time to visit Ethiopia is October, when the rainy season ends. It is best to travel around Ethiopia by local airlines, buy a "budget" - a package of Ethiopian tickets that is more convenient.

Avoid traveling to dangerous areas such as the border with Eritrea and Djibouti.

Travel with us all over the world, discover beautiful places on earth, and with cheap flights you save a lot of money.

You can also buy tickets online, so do not hesitate to book your seat on the plane today!

What to watch out for before traveling to Ethiopia

Be sure to remember before leaving. For a few crowns a day you can be protected against millions of medical interventions. Even if you are going on a quiet holiday, where you will sunshine 10 days in the resort, still insure. A healthy person like a rip may collapse an exotic bacillus, or inadvertently cause harm to someone else. And if you go on holiday adrenaline sports or other more action activities, arrange for sure as well.

## International driving licence

If you plan to rent a car on site and cross the country, find out what kind of document you need to drive. Let us prepare an international driving license and, for sure, include the Czech one in the trunk. Usually an international ID card will do the trick, but in some countries you have to present both.

## Not

A passport is such a foundation, but still (or perhaps because of it) we often forget it. Prepare it in a prominent place and be sure to check its validity. We recommend that you also have a copy or a second passport issued before you leave (this is useful when traveling between states that are not in love). You can then carry a copy of your passport with you everywhere, while keeping the original in a safe place.

## Vaccination

Before going abroad, it is good to go to a preventive medical check-up. You can also visit your dentist or gynecologist. Ordinary operations often cost quite different money abroad. Tell your GP about where you plan to go, recommend any vaccinations and tell you what to look out for outside Europe. Or stop by one of the vaccination centers that specialize in outings abroad.

## Reduction to sockets

Even if you are only traveling in Europe, you may not be able to insert your mobile charger into a power outlet in some places. There are many different plugs in the world that differ in shape, safety and connection style. Find out in advance what sockets will be waiting for you in your destination and get the appropriate reductions.

Does it seem like too much work? Don't worry, you do most of the things once or two. close in a few minutes and for reductions you can stop in the electrode on the way from work. And when you have completed all the formalities, you will enjoy your holiday excitement in full.

What needs to be solved before going to exotic

To experience jet lag, you have to travel across multiple time zones. For more
sensitive individuals two time zones are enough, but usually you need to cross
at least 6 time zones.

## Jet leg and your "bird" biorhythm

According to scientists, jet lag affects us because of our internal biological
clocks. Our body simply knows when it is day or night at home, even if you are
far away. Additionally, the internal settings do not run the same way with all
of us. While someone subconsciously perceives the day as 23.5 hours, another
lives in the rhythm of 24.5 hours. It is these biorhythms that make us either
lily or owl. People with longer perceptions of time have a better chance to
overcome jet lag but suffer it anyway.

## With the sun or against it

There is no jet lag like jet lag. It's easier for the body to fly west, when the
day stretches. You can survive the longer day, or you can take a nap for a
while. A much worse jet lag awaits you on your way east. Time goes ahead, and
you will lose a great deal of day your body was expecting. If you arrive at
night, your body will still be set for the day, and you probably will not fall
asleep, and will start to feel tired at the dawn.

## How to avoid jet lag

If you're flying overnight, get earplugs and eye masks. The darker the more
melatonin your body creates and the more likely you fall asleep. Forget about
sleeping pills. You will sleep even more and get worse jet lag. Try melatonin
tablets instead. But you have to start taking them a few days before departure
to have an effect.

### Regulate the sun / darkness

If you are traveling east, try to isolate yourself in the dark for at least
three hours. Lack of light will support the natural melatonin formation that
helps you to sleep. On the way west, on the contrary, expose yourself to the sun
as much as possible. Daylight persuades your body that a longer day is not such
a problem.

### Do some exercise

And take a healthy snack. From time to time, stand up in the plane and walk
around. Try simple stretching exercises directly in your seat. It will boost
your blood circulation and do you well. Avoid unhealthy snacks and fatty foods.
These do not help you.

### Take a shower

Are you changing at a large international airport? Find the washrooms and have a
shower. The shower will refresh you the same way as exercise.

### Smell the lavender

If you can not fall asleep after your arrival use few drops of lavender on your
pillow. Lavender calms you down.

### Bet on ginger

Ginger is a cure-all and also helps to fight jet lag. Especially if you get the
ginger tea before flying or on board the plane. Ginger beer works similarly.

### Do not drink alcohol or coffee

Avoid alcohol and caffeine. First your sleeping rhythm will be disturbed, and
secondly you get dehydrated which worsens the physical symptoms of jet lag.

### Reset your watch

Defeat your mind and set your watch for the time that's at your arrival even
before the plane takes off. It is easier to tune in to a new rhythm.

## Adapt or not

Some experts advise to begin adjusting your internal clocks to the destination
time approximately 3 days before departure, and after arrival to adopt the
eating habits of local people as soon as possible. Others recommend to keep
their home settings firmly, regardless of the new environment.

Dont Let Jet Lag Ruin Your Holiday

First of all, it is important to pack your necessary things on the road,
including valid documents (passport, identity card, travel insurance card),
medicines you are taking, visas if you are traveling with children, and they
must also have their travel documents.

Store important phone numbers on your mobile phone, especially for the insurance
assistance service that you use if necessary.

It is in your interest to inquire about the opening hours of check-in counters
at a particular carrier. They usually open 2 hours before departure and close 40
minutes. before the scheduled departure.
