If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Solina. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
