We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Aldea del Obispo before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
