No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Sangonera la Verde escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
