Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Papantla de Olarte escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
