Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Delianuova escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
