If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Capaccio-Paestum.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and pack a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
