We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Choluteca in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
