We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Narni Scalo in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
