If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Mancos. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
