We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Saltusio in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
