Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Fiuggi holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
