We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying El Zonte in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
