We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Chachapoyas in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
