We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Villa Carlos Paz in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels 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 pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
