Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Los Pascuales escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
