Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tombrio de Arriba could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
