We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Korablino in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
