We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Ojojona in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
