Cheap Flights to Poltava

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Poltava in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Poltava in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
