We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Fasano before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
