Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Michele al Tagliamento could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
