Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Villaluenga de la Vega escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing 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 hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
