If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Jesús. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
