We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Terlago in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
