Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Boroviki holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
