Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Cefalù holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
