Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bassan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
