No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your San Miguel de Salcedo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
