Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Michurinsk holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
