Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cabeza la Vaca could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
