Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Pamplona escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
