Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Canoa Quebrada holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
