No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Buena Vista escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get 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. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
