Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Olen'ye could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
