Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Taquillo vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
