Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mansilla de las Mulas could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
