We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Playa in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
