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 help get your Cumboto vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
