Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Cenicero holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
