Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Xunqueira de Ambia could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
