Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kalachevo could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
