Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chiquimulilla could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks can also help.
