No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Guaymallen vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
