Useful advice when travelling by plane in full comfort

Tons of good advice that is always useful when travelling safely by plane, in utmost comfort, and without having to renounce to one single thing, even tech requests!

Keep your children busy

For children, it can sometimes be very boring to face long trips: keep them busy with whimsically colorful gel stickers to stick and unstick from the window, creating fun compositions. We invite you to have one or two sets in store before departing.

Pass through security, selecting the correct Checkpoint

Many studies confirm that the majority of people are right-handed and therefore are more inclined to gravitate towards the checkpoint located to the right. Go against the grain and move yourself towards the leftward checkpoint, which will be less crowded.

Extend the Use of Free Wi-Fi

If in the airport there is the possibility of using free Wi-Fi with a limit of one hour, wind the clock on your device backwards just before your session expires.

Free Wi-Fi

Sit in the surroundings of an Airport Club Lounge; sometimes the free Wi-Fi passes through the doors and it is possible to connect with free access.

Power bank for your Cell phone

Is your phone battery dead? Avoid the hassle of having to fight over free plugs with other passengers simply to charge your smartphone. Among the items to keep in your purse, don’t forget a portable charger!

Freeze your favorite drink

Want to bring your favourite drink aboard the plane? Freeze it so that you can satisfy the requirements of airport security. You’ll be extremely happy you did, especially on longer flights.

“Fragile” baggage

Apply a VIP service for your baggage. Tie a “fragile” label to your baggage. Your baggage will be handled with more care. The airline will likely require you to sign a release form in case of damages to the baggage items, but if your luggage doesn’t contain anything particularly delicate, there is no need to worry.

Respect the security rules

Recycle your miniature shower and bath bottles that you find in hotels during your trips, that way you may take what you need, still remaining within the security limits for liquids on your next flight.

Free Water

Remain hydrated free of charge by taking an empty plastic bottle with you and, once past airport security, refill your bottle at the nearest water fountain in the airport.

Avoid Extra Charges

Are you at the maximum baggage weight allowance? Here’s an ingenious trick! Wear your clothing garments in layers and once past security, head towards the closest bathroom and make your outfit a bit more comfortable.

Keep your Luggage Safe

Use zip ties to tie the zips of your luggage together, this way you will prevent the zippers from opening during transportation, and the zip ties will also serve as an obstacle for an unwitting thief, trying to steal your precious objects.

Dress up your Luggage

Do you travel with a classic black suitcase? Make it easily recognizable by tying colorful ribbons to the handle. It will be easier to point it out from far way.

Take back some space

Roll up your clothes instead of folding them so that you can take back some space and take more items with you, like belts and socks. Wear clothes that have ample pockets in which little objects can be stored instead of having to fill up your suitcase with them..

Comfortable Takeoffs

The irritating pain, or the simple but annoying temporary popping of the ears can be avoided thanks to some simple steps that work as well for adults as for kids like, for example, having a lollipop or using earplugs.

A Personal Spa

Transform your seating space into a personal spa. Take off your shoes and roll your feet over a small golf ball for a fantastic foot massage. Try it a couple of times at home first so that you are sure the ball won’t roll around everywhere once on the airplane.

Pass the time

To pass the time, a wonderful idea is to watch a film on your smartphone. You can use your sunglasses as a make-shift stand for your smartphone.

Make yourself at ease

Long trip? Flaunt your anti-slip socks, your feet will thank you! After all, “we aren’t made to suffer.”

Smarter headphones

Use a paper clip to keep your headphones in order. You can attach the wires to your clothes to give you freedom of movement.

Put your fear aside and try

When travelling in business class or in first class, there is the possibility to ask for complimentary tastings of drinks. Perhaps the service will not be included in your particular flight, but it is always worth asking staff. If it’s your first time travelling to a new part of the word and there is a drink typical of that area, take advantage of the opportunity and ask to try it. The flight assistants, especially ones that work for foreign airlines, take great care in making a good impression. It could be your lucky day!
