Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Buenavista could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
