Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vernazza could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
