Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Salou holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
