Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your San Pietro in Gu vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
