Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips that will get your Ala Dei Sardi vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
