No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Anchuras escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
