No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Ipiales vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
