Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Pescasseroli holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- 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, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
