If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Las Lajas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
