How to survive the flight to La Gruta?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Gruta could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Gruta?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to La Gruta a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:
  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
