Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Macate could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
