We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Atena Lucana in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
