Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Laguna Yaxhá escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
