We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Zhiguli in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. 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 in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
