Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San José Iturbide could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
