We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Villa Concha in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
