Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Limini could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints 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 flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
