We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Ibarra in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
