We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Cerro de Pasco in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
