Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Avía vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
