Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Citta Sant'Angelo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
