If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Baveno. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot 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 to help your circulation.
