If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Volot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
