Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Vorkuta could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
