If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Bellpuig. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
