We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Los Robalos in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
