We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Jimenez before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
