No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Massa Lubrense holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
