Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rueda could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
