We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Frias in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
