Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Notaresco could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
