Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nizina could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
