No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Rio Rancho escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
