Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Concepcion escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
