We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Campofelice di Roccella in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
