We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in San Jorge in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
