No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Palena vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
