No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Caye Caulker escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
