We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Alburquerque in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
