Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mainit could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
