Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sovetsky could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
