Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Archidona could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
