We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in San Juan del Rio in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
