Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your San Miguel vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
