Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Rio San Juan holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fibre clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
