We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Avenida Kukulkan in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
