We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Cajón before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
