If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Murom.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
