If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Siguenza. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
