If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Salinas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
