If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Boquete.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
