Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sandinies could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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 pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
