Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Las Pozas holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
