Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to La Fortunada could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
