If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in St. Peter's.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
