Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Merodio could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
