How to survive the flight to Vatican City?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Vatican City could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vatican City?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Vatican City in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
