Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Madona could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
