Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Korov'ye Boloto could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
