Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Vamos escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
