Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Palumbo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
