Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to El Golea could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
