We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Figueruela de Arriba in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
