We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Ricany in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
