We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Barumini before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
