If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Taganga.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
