No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Cerro Chato escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
