Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tiagua could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
