Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pola de Siero could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 tights or socks.
