We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Spello in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
