Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Santa Sofía could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
