If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Omsk. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
