Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Malakhovka could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
