If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Chiltiupan. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
