Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Simeri-Crichi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
