We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Loja in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.
