We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Guamal before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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.
