Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Casorate Primo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing 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 objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
