If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Penamellera Baja.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
