Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Hazas de Cesto escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also recommended.
