If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Zumpango.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
