Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ibagué could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
