No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Neapoli holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
