If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Cahuita.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
