Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rivisondoli could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
