No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Blagoveshchenskaya holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
