Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Foggia vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
