Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Monterrey holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
