Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Cóbano holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
