Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chosica could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
