Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Villanueva de la Condesa could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
