No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Teocaltiche escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
