Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Guacamaya could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
