We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Espira de l'Agly in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
