Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Pescara escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
