Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Gualaco holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
