We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Las Pocitas in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
