Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Piccione could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some 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 a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
