Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your San Martino in Campo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
