Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Miami could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.
