Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Porto Levante vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
