Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Puerto Rey escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
