Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your La Yeguada escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
