Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Pinal de Amoles holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
