Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Yalutorovsk could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
