Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Siponto could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
