We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Puntone in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
