If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Santa Rita. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
