No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Varese holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
