No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Mundo Novo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
