We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Fernan Perez in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
