We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Huacho in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
