Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Espinosa vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
