If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Frigiliana.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
