If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Valencia.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals 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 sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
