Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Shelkovo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
