Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Tlaquepaque holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
