Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alapayevsk could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
