We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Bellcaire d'Emporda in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
