Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Castromayor escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
