We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Paita in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
