Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your El Valle vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
