We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Alviano in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
