Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Muxía holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
