We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Cunas before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
