Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bol'shoy Sulabash vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
