Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Piedras Negras escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
