We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying La Venta in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
