We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Malinalco in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
