We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Cordoba in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
