Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Santa Amalia vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
