Cheap Flights to Russian Black Sea Coast

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Russian Black Sea Coast could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Russian Black Sea Coast a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
