Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Melgar could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
