We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering San Pietro in Guarano in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure 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 one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
