Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Vielha e Mijaran holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
