Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ezcaray could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
