No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your San Cono vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
