We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Puebla de Alborton before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
