Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Villavieja could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
