Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Kaspiysk vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
