Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Esperaza could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
