We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Siguatepeque in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
