Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Viveiro could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled 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 things first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
