Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Santiago Maior could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
