Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Michurinets could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
