Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Paderno del Grappa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting 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:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
