Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Sant'Agata Feltria vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
