We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Novaya Salyn' in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
