Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Valle de Angeles escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
