Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Yusupovo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
