Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Yanque could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
