Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Cosón holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
