Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Las Terrenas holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
