Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Villasimius could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
