Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Belye Stolby could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
