Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hontoria de Valdearados could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
