Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hrybivka could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
