Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kirsanov could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
