Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Achacachi holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes 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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
