We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in San Francisco de Macorís before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
