Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to La Aurora could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
