How to survive the flight to Chirivel?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Chirivel before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chirivel?
Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Chirivel a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
