No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Borgo Valbelluna holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
