Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Manzanillo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes 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.
