Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Benasque could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
