Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tynda could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
