Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rio San Juan could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
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, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
