If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in La Floresta.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.
