Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Bredovka escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
