Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Guadalupita could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
