Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to San Ramón could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
