Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your La Penilla escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans 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:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
