Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Talavera de la Reina holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
