We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Juan Dolio in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
