We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Testa dell'Acqua before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
