Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Montecristi vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
