Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ahuachapan could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
