We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Zorraquin before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
