Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Comillas escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
