Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Chimbote escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
