Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Sorbo San Basile vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
