Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Lobitos holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
