We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Peschiera del Garda in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
