Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Korsakov vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
