How to survive the flight to Petersburg?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Petersburg could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Petersburg?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Petersburg quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
