Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Fundación escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
