Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Santa Tecla holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
