We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Huarmey in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
