We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring El Yagual in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
