Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Santa Cruz de Mompox vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. 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 suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
