No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Specchiaruzzo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
