Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your San Ignacio de Moxos escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- 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 lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
