How to survive the flight to Messina?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. We’ve compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Messina escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Messina?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Messina a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
