Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gualaquiza could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.
