Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Kovylkino vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
