We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Pinal de Amoles in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
