No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Nakhchivan vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
