Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hodka Village could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
