Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fuencaliente de la Palma could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
