No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Nizhniy Arkhyz vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
