We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Pordenone in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a 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.
