Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your San Jose de Ocoa holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
