Flights to Kirovgrad, Sverdlovsk Oblast from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Kirovgrad escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kirovgrad in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
