No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Acayucan escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
