Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sur could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
