Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Luján escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
