We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Bereznyakovskiy in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
