No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Bobia de Arriba escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
