Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Taurisano escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
