Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Pech-Luna vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
