Rules of conduct in emergency situations

If you have any concerns about safety and you can justify them, do not fly. If you have any concerns about your life or health during the flight, you should immediately contact the crew and demand immediate protection.

Before the flight, it is worth preparing a kit with the necessary things that may be needed in the event of an accident - drinking water, dry rations, warm clothes. If the route passes over water, include in the kit some item that can keep you afloat. This precaution will come in handy if it is not possible to use the life-saving equipment provided for passengers.

Before the flight, you should be briefed on the placement of life-saving equipment that may be needed in emergency situations. If you have not been briefed, be sure to clarify this issue.
