Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Playa Hermosa escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
