If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Santa Maria de Émeres.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
