Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Marano Lagunare escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
