No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Casoli escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
