No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your San Felice Circeo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, 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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
