Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Pedro La Laguna could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
