Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Matanzas vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank 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 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
