Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Biella holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
