Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Villa Canales could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
