Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cocles could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
