We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Cereceda in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
