Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Penne vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
