If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Santa María Huatulco.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
