We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in La Tallada d'Emporda in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
