Cheap Flights to Petrozavodsk

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Petrozavodsk in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Petrozavodsk, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
