Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Santa Rosa de Conlara holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
