Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Santa Cruz Mulua holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
