No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Topocalma vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul 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 long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
