We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Vichuquen in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
