Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Samano could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
