We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Gorki in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
