No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your San Remo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
