We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Mazzano Romano in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
