Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Soldeu could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
