No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Korosten escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of 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.
