No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Canela holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh 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 liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
