We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Nociglia in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
