Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your San Ignacio escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
