No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Puerto Vallarta escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
