No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Vlasikha vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
