Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alfombra could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
