No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Ponte Nuovo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
