If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Quintana del Puente.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
