Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Giardini Naxos escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
