Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Baños de Rioja vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
