We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and exploring Molino before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
