Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Mazatlán escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
