Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Valderrey vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
