Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Garbagnate Milanese vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
