We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Alvarado in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
