Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Villanueva de la Pena could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
