Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cubillos del Sil could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
