Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your San Javier escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
