Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Tamiahua vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
