No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Isla Cebaco vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
