No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Constanza escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, 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 priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
