We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and exploring Genoa in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
