Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Chiquimula holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
