No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Cuauhtémoc holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
