We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Serradilla before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
