Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Tancítaro escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
