Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Dolores could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
