We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Castiglione della Pescaia in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, 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.
