Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Herguijuela could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
