We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Montegrazie in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
