Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Castuera vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
