No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Concepción escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
