If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Pacaja.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, 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 narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
