We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Presidente Medici before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, 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:
- Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
