Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Florence holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
