• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Yartsevo easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It’s also likely that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
