We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Parghelia in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- You've probably 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. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
