Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to El Gejo de los Reyes could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. 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 precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
