Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Nogales vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
