We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Linares in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
