No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your San Blas escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
