Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Chalchuapa escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
