Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Laurino escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
