We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Cascia before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
