We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Reserva in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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 goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
