We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Borgo Tufico before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
