No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Manzanillo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
