If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Mejillones. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
