Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Las Salinas escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
