If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Dirfys-Messapia.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
