We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Zapala in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
