Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Huasca de Ocampo holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
