We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Pregasina in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
