If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Pervoural'sk.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
