Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Mixquiahuala holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
