We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of San Martino in Passiria before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
