We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Nyrovskoe in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, 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 aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
