We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Ponza in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.
