Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Parral escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
