Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Playa Bonita Village escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
