We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Banos del Inca in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
