We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Gran Tarajal in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
