Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Esteli escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
