We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring San Juan de Oriente in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
