Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Controne could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
