Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Ravello holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin 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 slip on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
