Do you have any tips for my flight to Derbent?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Derbent escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember 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 of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Derbent?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Derbent in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
