We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering San Pedro Jácuaro in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
