We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Bijagua before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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 feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
