Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Novovolynsʼk escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
