Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Colliano vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
