We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering José Gregorio Hernández in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
