If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Playa Las Hojas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
