Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Quiroga holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
