No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Tonatico escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don’t forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
