We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Poronaysk in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
