Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Salas Bajas could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
