Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Todos Santos holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
