No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Albitreccia escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
