Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Puente de Ixtla could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
