We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Portoviejo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
