If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Robbiate.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
