No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Constitucion escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
