Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Posadas holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
