Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Caserío Barra Salada escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
