If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Bioggio.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
