Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Vyartsilya could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
