Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Olanchito could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
