Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Guadalupe escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
