Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bonita could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful 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 great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
