We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Ortigueira in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
