Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Santa Cruz de Bravo could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial 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 prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
