Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Gessopalena holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
