Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mata Roma could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
