We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring San Agustin in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
