We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Barrancas in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
