Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Los Tanques could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
