If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Caña de Azúcar. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
