Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your La Puerta de Segura holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
