Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Torri in Sabina escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
