We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Chiriqui Grande in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
