No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Dolores Hidalgo holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
