No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Cudillero holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
