If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Catacaos. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
