We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Espartinas in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
