Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tikos could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
