Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Puerta de Fragua could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
