No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Capilla del Monte holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
