Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Colfosco vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
