No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Sesto San Giovanni holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
