We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Rogachevo in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
