We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Paine in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
