Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lomnago could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
