Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your El Chaparral escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
