Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Loreto could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
