Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Castelldefels could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
