Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Villalago could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
