Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mococa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
