We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring St. Petersburg in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
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 carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
